Tank Nightmare

[Quinster]

I had one once that the center brace on my 180 let go, and the tank bowed almost 2" in the middle....wait....IT REALLY HAPPENED!

I dreamt once of fairly large aquatic monster like creatures coming out of the LR in my Triggerfish tank. Seriously. They were sorta alligator like, but not. It was some time ago and I really don't remember what they looked like. It was kinda freaky. I sleep beside this tank as it's in the bedroom.

Pleasant dreams,

I have the tank breaking dreams often. And also the one Tony mentioned, remembering a tank in the basement I hadn't looked at in months.

The first one is apparently a control issue, trying to keep everything together.

Not sure about the second, bad memory maybe ?

I've had bad dreams about tank break downs, thankfully none have come true.

I had my biggest panic attack just last week. I was driving HOME after a long day at work when the innocent little thought crossed my mind... "I remember turning off the RO top off before I left for work this morning didn't I" After a mental run down of my morning where I remember waking up late, turning the RO feed into the tank on but have no recollection of turning it off before I rush out the door... I eventually convince myself that I left the freshwater running into the tank from 7am onwards.

First I drove faster, then I realized that if I did leave it running everything would be dead by now anyways. Then I came to the conclusion that my wife probably beat me home and had already discovered the disaster. With weary resignation I realized that if I had left the water running and killed off my tank, that would necessitate enough water on the floor to justify me running off to Montana. When I got home, it took me an hour to work up the nerve to go see if there was a disaster in the basement. Fortunately, I didn't have to go to Montana!
